Balsalicious for beaks that need an easy to shred toy

Balsalicious for beaks that need an easy to shred toy

£16.95

Excellent for over preeners

Add Stainless Steel Quick Link:

:  at  £16.95  each

Balsalicious is ideal for medium to large sized parrots that need something they can actually destroy. Using one solid chunky balsa block we have added a few medium to hard parts in to create a little challenge and they can always be reused if they survive. 

It is a great shredding toy to keep beaks busy but it may also work for those slightly bigger beaks that may need coaxing into play or have beaks that are not at full strength due to age or special needs .

Stainless Steel Quick Link optional.

Made to order so please allow 14 working days for dispatch.

We made this one for Scarlett an African Grey Parrot but the long strands of paper rope tickled her tummy a little too much so we will check the length with you before sending it out.

Materials -  Balsa, Crinkle, Colourful Pine Buttons, Birdie Bangles, Lolly Sticks, Hardwood Shapes, Palm Sticks, Natural Paper Rope, and Veg Tanned Leather 

Suitable for - Although safe for all beaks this toy may be a little big for the smaller birds and not last 5 minutes with the Extra Large ones.

Shreddability - Highly shreddable elements combined with some medium to hard parts that may survive to be used another day. 

Approx Dimensions -
Length: 28cm
Width: 20cm
